Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido has announced that a jury convicted Al Curtis Williams, a 46-year-old man from Hazel Park, of first-degree murder.
The verdict followed a four-day trial before Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Edward Servitto.
Williams was convicted of the following offenses:
• Homicide – Murder – First-Degree - Premeditated, punishable by life without parole
• Weapons – Carrying Concealed, a 5-year felony
• Weapons – Felony Firearm, a 2-year felony consecutive to main charge
Williams remains in custody at the Macomb County Jail. He faces sentencing before Servitto on?March 12.
The conviction stems from an incident that occurred in December of 2024.
Williams engaged in a verbal dispute with the victim, 38-year-old Brandon Zaner of Utica, inside a Shell gas station in Warren.
Williams left the store and returned shortly afterward, at which time he confronted Zaner, who had walked to a nearby parking lot.
A second altercation ensued and Williams fired one round, striking the victim in the chest. Zaner collapsed onto the pavement. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.
